This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Someone will call
Somethin' will fall
And smash on the floor
Without readin' the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before
And it's painful
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm sayin'
A game's not worth playin'
Over and over again
You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you
Don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm sayin'
A game's not worth playin'
Over and over again
Things must change
Things must change
Things must change
Things must change
If it wasn't for you (things must change)
Don't know what I'd do (things must change)
Unpredictable like the sun (things must change)
(Things must change) someone will call
Somethin' will fall
And smash on the floor (things must change)
Without readin' the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before (things must change)
You're the one I like best (all that I'm sayin')

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

You guys are so far from the truth, being a die hard DM fan, I know exactly what this song is about. This song is about boredom, and routine, and how "painfull" it becomes. The "Someone will call, something will fall, smash on the floor, without reading the text, know what comes next" line, is a metaphor about your everyday work/life and how frustrating it can be. Then, the author tell us that things must change, and the sacrifices we do everyday aren't worth at all. He definitely wants to change his life! The next lines appear in a more advanced time in the authors life, when he already found something, or someone, that gave a meaning to his life. Otherwise, the author would do something else, would take an "unpredictable" attitude in his life to change things as they were. The weather factores in this song just work perfectly! The wind sound gives the listener a feeling of peace but at the same time, apathy (that's what the author feels - is life is so quiet and uninteresting he can even listen to the wind passing through the trees). The sun & rainfall are a brilliant metaphor for good/evil, happiness/sadness, motivation/boredom.
